I don't possess the official stance on this topic but AFAIK user-level questions are fine on this list. The git-users mailing list was created -- as I understand it -- because of three reasons: 1) it's easier to post to; 2) you don't receive all the bug reports and patch traffic irrelevant to mere mortals; 3) you have good chances to get even RTFM questions answered (mostly by those who just had RTFM recently), though I'd say stackoverflow is better at this one. ;-)
